As an organization they sure do draft well but seem completely unable to get it to develop properly. Brayden Schenn now joins Patrick Sharp and Justin Williams on an ever-growing list of players who flourished once they dumped the orange jersey.

We'll see, Mrazek is looking like another corpse for the goalie graveyard in Philly.

Their forward corps is elite, the D is young but coming along, but they're almost Carolina-level bad in figuring out who to put between the pipes. It's unraveled them repeatedly for close to, what, 20 years now? I suppose they'll just keep making interim solutions until Carter Hart is finally ready to go, but man, if Ron frickin' Hextall can't figure it out I don't think anyone can.

No one's talking about them, but they made the playoffs last year, a bunch of guys took a step forward, and they signed JvR. On the downside, is the once highly coveted and unstoppable Wayne Simmonds starting to wear down?

This team is incorporating their solid prospects into the lineup really well. If Konecky and Patrick take another big step, watch out for the Flyboys. Goaltending still stinks, though, but Carter Hart is waiting in the wings.
